help please identifying an armoire

I can tell from the stamp on the back its made in Oct 57. other than that I cant make out the stamp. Any ideas ?

any help would be appreciated.

value would be nice
looking for manufacturer too

thanks folks

 

I wonder if it could be church furniture? Can we get a pic of the inside ? I also get an English 30s feel off this one too.

 

Nice and not too big as so many are.

Repeating my comment on the hall tree thread. Full Image instead of Thumbnail gives viewers a better chance to see and comment. Click Edit on your post to make that change as soon as you see this because the edit function expires.

 

funny you should mention church furniture. we thought it looked like a confessional. The stamp on the back indicates Oct 1957. Its in awesome shape. Ill get pics of the inside and post as soon as possible
has a hanging area on the right and shelves to the left

 

just tried to load the full pic and it was rejected. I can email to anyone thats interested

 

For future reference, then.

yes mam, I saw that. And they are at 600/450. Ill try the 1mb size in a few

 

I would have thought this earlier (30s as Johnny suggests). However, the stamp would seem to tell the story unless it is on a replaced plywood backing. It is English oak in the so-called tudor-bethan style. While it looks pretty churchy to our eyes, it is just as likely home furniture. The English members here could probably tell you more about this than I could. Seems that styles we saw go by the wayside were produced a lot longer there.

 

Not church, but Tudorbethan 1950s indeed. Old Charm were the foremost makers of these. There's another company - I've one of their chests - but the name escapes me.

It's an odd thing about styles. Some pseudo trad ones hung on, whilst the fashion crowd were channelling people like Robin Day and that whole atomic thing, too. My take is that having been bombed to perdition and lost so much, people went a bit nostalgic.

 

While we didn't have the bombings and structural loss, we did turn back to traditional. Here, post-war design manifested itself in a resurgence of interest in Colonial American furnishings.

 

Can't help, but I love its size and clean look!!!

 

I love it !!!! (but can't help you with any info )

 

Looking at those hinges, they're very like the ones on my repro Tudor chest, but it's so covered in Stuff that I can't lift the lid to look at the maker's plaque inside!

The other possibility is Jaycee.

 

I love it too, great smaller size and nice looking .. hoping to see the interior, Joy.

 

Definitely, the photo from the inside will help to provide more information about this armoire.
